Nowa Huta, Socialist planned district in Kraków, Poland
Nowa Huta features wide boulevards, large squares, and residential buildings designed according to socialist realism principles of the 1950s urban architecture.
The district emerged in 1949 as a separate city centered around the Lenin Steelworks, before merging with Kraków in 1951 to house industrial workers.
The Lord's Ark Church stands as a symbol of residents' determination, as they fought against the communist authorities to build their place of worship.
The district connects to central Kraków through an extensive network of tram lines and bus routes, making transportation accessible for its 200,000 residents.
The district layout follows a Renaissance-inspired radial plan with Central Square at its core, surrounded by symmetrical residential neighborhoods.
